I love the clues to Jesus' arrival and ministry in the Old Testament. I find it interesting that God is using us to make the Jews jealous. What I don't understand is how this impacts Jews today. Are they jealous of us now, in the past or in the future? Will this make a difference and bring Jews to salvation?

Deuteronomy 32:21
21 They used things that are not gods to make me jealous and worthless idols to make me angry. So I will use those who are not a nation to make them jealous; I will use a nation that does not understand to make them angry.

Romans 10:14-21
14 But before people can ask the Lord for help, they must believe in him; and before they can believe in him, they must hear about him; and for them to hear about the Lord, someone must tell them;
15 and before someone can go and tell them, that person must be sent. It is written, "How beautiful is the person who comes to bring good news."
16 But not all the Jews accepted the good news. Isaiah said, "Lord, who believed what we told them?"
17 So faith comes from hearing the Good News, and people hear the Good News when someone tells them about Christ.
18 But I ask: Didn't people hear the Good News? Yes, they heard—as the Scripture says:
"Their message went out through all the world;
their words go everywhere on earth." — Psalm 19:4
19 Again I ask: Didn't the people of Israel understand? Yes, they did understand.
First, Moses says:
"I will use those who are not a nation to make you jealous.
I will use a nation that does not understand to make you angry." — Deuteronomy 32:21
20 Then Isaiah is bold enough to say:
"I was found by those who were not asking me for help.
I made myself known to people who were not looking for me." — Isaiah 65:1
21 But about Israel God says,
"All day long I stood ready to accept
people who disobey and are stubborn." — Isaiah 65:2
